    Maxing Electronic Technology MX Lnbs Of: Test Report Ku Band Lnbs

    Uploaded by

    Alexander Wiese
    The document tests and evaluates three Ku band LNB models from Maxing Electronic Technology - the MX-16 single LNB, MX-KT22C twin LNB, and MX-KQ24C quad LNB. Testing found the single and quad LNBs performed well in measurements of signal quality, while the twin LNB had a stronger output signal but lower signal quality, making it suitable for installations with long cable runs. All three LNBs were found to have reasonable current consumption and quality equal to other top brands on the market. The labels on the LNBs were paper which may not last long outdoors, but performance was the priority of the evaluation.

    TEST REPORT Ku band LNBs
    MAXING MX-16, MX-KT22C, MX-KQ24C
    Excellent workmanship give excellent
    reception results
    Good For Strong
    and Weak Satellites
    We have already pre-
    sented one LNB of Maxing
    Electronic Technology the
    MB04 universal LNB for Ku
    Band with an integrated DiS-
    EqC switch (see TELE-au-
    diovision 07-08/2014). This
    time we picked some other
    LNBs of their huge collection
    of models, namely the more
    commonly used versions of
    Single, Twin and Quad LNBs
    for Ku Band. Maxing gave
    them these model names:
    MX-16, MX-KT22C and MX-
    KQ24C respectively.
    The LNBs we put to our
    test bench this time looked
    from the outset typical for
    Ku Band LNBs. They were
    fnished off very well. The
    only small drawback we no-
    ticed was that their labels
    were made of paper. So,
    you can not expect them to
    survive long when installed
    outside on a dish. How-
    ever, do you really care?
    Once installed, you usually
    do not pay any more atten-
    tion to the LNB on your dish.
    Even if the label is eventu-
    ally peeled off by rain and
    wind this will not trigger any
    problem or esthetic discom-
    fort. Thats why we do not
    should know that it was a
    low noise (NF=0.2 dB) con-
    temporary LNB of very good
    quality. We decided to use
    the LNB poiting to the AS-
    TRA satellite on 19.2 East.
    Although this satellite was
    very strong in our location,
    it did not necessarily mean
    that the test was easier to
    pass.
    In such environment
    (Toroidal dish and strong sig-
    nals) you may expect quite
    some interference from
    neighboring satellites so ad-
    ditional to the low noise fg-
    ure the LNB under test must
    also offer a low phase noise,
    high cross polarization isola-
    regard this as a serious im-
    perfection.
    What really counts is the
    performance. We decided
    to use our Toroidal multi-
    feed dish with 8 LNBs. For
    the purpose of this test we
    replaced one of its LNBs
    with one by one the Max-
    ing LNBs. The original LNB
    served as the reference to
    which the Maxing MX LNBs
    were to be compared to. You
    tion and high resistance to
    intermodulation. The most
    practical way to evaluate all
    those parameters at once
    is to compare the LNB un-
    der test to another one of a
    different brand. And thats
    what we did.
    As usually, we compared
    the LNB power output which
    is directly related to signal
    strength and Modulation
    Error Ratio (MER) which in
    turn is related to the signal
    quality. The frst two graphs
    present the signal strength.
    Evidently, the MX-16 was
    weaker than our reference,
    the MX-KT22C was visibly
    stronger and the MX-KQ24C
    was more or less equal.

    What is worth mentioning,
    both outputs of the Twin LNB
    and all four outputs of the
    Quad LNB were almost iden-
    tical. So none of the outputs
    was weaker or stronger than
    the others with the same
    LNB.
    Then we measured and
    processed the MER results.
    And here we had another
    picture. We may say that
    the MX-16 matched our ref-
    erence, the MX-KT22C was
    somewhat worse and the
    MX-KQ24C was again almost
    equal to the reference.
    The reason for this is
    clear: the MX-KT22C has
    been designed as a high
    output LNB and due to that
    its noise performance is not
    as good as the normal out-
    put level companions (Single
    and Quad in this case), whch
    is due to increased inter-
    modulation in such high gain
    LNB. However, this makes
    this LNB a favorite for re-
    ceiving strong satellites
    connected to a distribution
    system with signifcant sig-
    nal loss due to long cables
    or many switches.
    The MX-16 and MX-KQ24C
    did not have such a strong
    output signal but performed
    very well in signal qual-
    ity measurements. We can
    recommend them even for
    diffcult reception condi-
    tions. They they perform as
    well as the best LNBs on the
    market.
    Finally, we measured cur-
    rent consumption of all
    LNBs. Here are the results:
    MX-1672 mA
    MX-KT22C104 mA
    MX-KQ24C152 mA.
    The d.c. currents are quite
    reasonable and similar to
    other devices of this kind.
    They will not cause any
    problem for any receiver or
    multiswitch.
    Excellent noise performance of the Single and Quad LNBs:
    MX-11 and MX-KQ24C
    Very strong output of the Twin LNB: MX-KT22H
